I have been playing with the FENG all week. I turned it off and it was really quiet. So much so that I turned it back on today. I also noticed a setting for something called "Enhanced noise cancellation." It was disabled from the factory so I turned the FENG back on and enabled the ENC. The Feng was there but not as pronounced as it was without the ENC. I couldn't hear the Feng holding the revs when the ENC was on. I just disabled the ENC when i got home from work to see what that setting actually does. Do these cars have Active Noise Cancellation that is a software option?
From what I've noticed today, I believe that the noise cancellation functions. Maybe it's the same electronic hardware package that's just not turned on so it can be a perk for other models. I'll know more tomorrow morning when I test the new setting of Feng on / ENC off. I'll post what I find.

Well, it looks like my 2020 ST does have functional Active Noise Cancellation. Last night when i got home from work, I turned the Enhanced Noise Cancellation back off and left the FENG on to see how it changed the sound. Now I can hear the sound of the FENG holding the revs like the original settings. Maybe that's why it's not enabled from the factory.
Tomorrow just for curiosity, I'm going to turn the FENG back off again and turn the ENC back on just to see how quiet the car can be. I do like a quiet car sometimes. The car was really quiet with just the FENG off. Now that I found that I have Active Noise Cancellation, It will be even quieter.

Looks like they changed the values for 2021. It's now 727-01-01 3003 14FE 1085, and changing the 4 to anything I tried results in an invalid format error message so I left it alone. I did see what you mentioned about the ACM Software setting not working. There are two in there: Engine Sound Enhancement, and Software Engine Sound Enhancement. The first value wouldn't even write when set to Disabled. The second value had no effect after I set it to Disabled and wrote it.
Hopefully they will release an update to allow us to turn it off from the panel. I do not like anything fake on a vehicle. At least the Borla exhaust upgrade will fix the fake-tips issue. I was shocked when Audi did it that the SQ5.

I don't believe Ford will ever give us the ability to turn off the FENG from the display. They've been putting FENG in certain performance vehicles for years. They've never given the public a way to disable it without some workaround (like ForScan, for instance).
They should have at least offered an upgrade to the exhaust & disabled the FENG themselves. There are two options for the brakes and rims! Ford dropped the ball on making $ there!
